Freshstart16 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 http://www.thechronicle.com.au/story/2010/...irst-toowoomba/ Puppy love: man marries a real dog A YOUNG Toowoomba man yesterday tied the knot with his best friend – a five-year-old labrador. In perhaps a first for the Garden City, Laurel Bank Park hosted the wedding of Joseph Guiso and Honey, a labrador he adopted five years ago. Thirty of the couple’s closest friends and family were in attendance for the emotional ceremony, held at dusk. "You’re my best friend and you make every part of my day better," Mr Guiso’s vows read. The couple decided on the location – and to tie the knot - after stumbling upon a wedding in Laurel Bank Park during an afternoon walk. "I said that could be us," Mr Guiso said. "She didn’t say anything so I took that as a yes." Mr Guiso said as a "religious guy", he could no longer take the guilt of living with Honey out of wedlock. "It’s not sexual," he assured the onlookers. "It’s just pure love." The couple is planning a short honeymoon to one of Toowoomba’s parks. A bit OT - but because I am in a same sex relationship, I cant get married and he can??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerRottweiler Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 That is disgusting and weird. Furthermore, you can't officially marry a dog Naomi, so no, you can't marry a dog, but at the same time not marry a person of the same sex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving my Oldies Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 What I find disturbing is that it gets space in the media, Why is that disturbing? Why not have some fun things in the media instead of an almost exclusive diet of death and destruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
